about

For anyone who's ever faced the loneliness of growing up, changing, or wondering if your past life is gone for good.

lyrics

Don't let go
don't forget
where you're from
or what you love
or how to find your way back

close your eyes
let the rain carry you away
let the wet July
and the fireflies
sing you down from the smokestacks

smile inside
let every muscle relax
let the girl alive
who loves summertime
sing out loud
shake her hair back

don't let her die
the girl inside
the one who loves the world she's living in
don't let her die
the one who smiles
who brings a light where're she goes
maybe it's time
to come home

I know, you want to grow up
you want to do the righteous thing
how can you leave
when there's a need
and turn your back
on their pain?

You're not an East Coast gal,
well, I promise you that it's ok
it's not giving up
it's not failing them
to do what your heart needs

don't let her die
the girl you are
the woman you are fast becoming
don't let it die
the dream you had
the light you came here to shine
maybe it's time
to come home

but... you notice one, small thing
keeps on interrupting every day
a might-be friend
a subtle smile
a nudge you know
means "stay"

just don't let her die
the girl inside
the one who loves the world she's living in
no, grow some strength
a tougher skin
to do the work you came to do
you never know
what good may come
or how the Lord might see to use you
there will be time
to go home
